Obon Cucumber Horse!🥒 Continuing on with our Obon post we want to share an interesting tradition. Families make a “horse” from a cucumber and a “cow” from eggplant.🍆 You make these with cucumbers and eggplants for the bodies and disposable chopsticks for legs. For ours we just used toothpicks. The animals represent wanting your love ones to come quickly (horse) and leave slowly (cow). 🐎🐄 Unfortunately for us we don’t have any eggplants in our garden but we have cucumbers! We picked this funny one from the garden so our “horse” would have a head! Jet says he’s cool being across the room from the cucumber horse but still wants to be in the picture.😽 The trio were much more interested. Al is amazed. Ashton is skeptical that a cucumber horse could be a mode of transportation and Pino really couldn’t see how this looks anything like a horse.🥒=🐴? #obon#bon#obonfestival#cucumberhorse#oboncucumber#gardencucumber#tabbycat#threeleggedcat#tricolorcorgi#blueeyedcorgi#corgi#corgis#corgination#corgisofinstagram
